Hundreds of Mets fans who camped outside Shea Stadium in hopes of buying World Series tickets flew into a rage yesterday when they were told the ducats will be sold only over the phone.

“This is horrible,” said Brigitte Loiacono, 33, who’d spent the night waiting in line after the Amazin’s won the National League pennant.

“We got babysitters and made arrangements for our kids to go to school,” she said.

“They could have done this a little more graceful.”

The waiting faithful started yelling and chanting obscenities when they were told tickets would not go on sale until Saturday – and then can only be purchased with a credit card over the phone.

A maximum of four tickets per game can be purchased by calling (718) 507-TIXX starting at 9 a.m. Saturday. Tickets to Games 3, 4 and a possible Game 5 cost from $110 to $160. Each ticket carries a $6 surcharge.

“We’re just afraid that if we say tickets are going on sale at a certain time and people will wait for two days and then a good many people still won’t get tickets. And that’s not fair,” said Mets vice president for marketing Mark Bingham, who was dispatched to talk to the angry crowd.

“The phone is a very arbitrary lottery.”

The explanation didn’t win the exec many fans.

“What about the working man and working woman who does not have a credit card?” said William Ferguson, 46, of Brooklyn.

“I pay with cash. I have $5,000 in cash all throughout my body,” he said. “I came here to buy tickets. We all did.”

Bingham told the fans to have a friend with a credit card buy their tickets.

But later, Met officials said ticket buyers will have the option of reserving tickets over the phone and then paying cash when they pick them up at the stadium.

Mets spokesman Jay Horowitz later said the team had warned waiting fans Monday night not to waste their time.

“Someone went out a couple of times during the night to tell people there’d be no sales at the stadium,” Horowitz said.
